    Antimalware Service Executable and Fan settings


    Hi All,I am having a concering issue with my PC, firstly Antimalware Service Executable, often runs in the background and takes up ~30% CPU, which is annoying on its own. I have tried to limit how often it runs using the tips described in this post, https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/high-cpu-usage-because-of-antimalware-service/b20c6fef-0ce1-4ad1-8874-f76c8a89523a, to no success. My further problem is Antimalware Service Executable often runs when the PC sleeps, however the CPU fan does not come on for some reason. Often I have come back to my laptop, with the lid shut

    :)
